Pistoleer Archive

I was wanting your oppinions on what three branches of Pistoleer would be the best for me being a Master CM. I will not use specials much since i need my mind but I wanted to know what would the best 3 branches to pursue thanks.

I'm a Master Smuggler/Master Pistoleer, and if I were you and had that many points to spend, I would try to pick up Smuggler's Dirty Fighting line, even if you could only get to the 3rd box of it.

Poison/Diseaseplus Feign Death must be brutal - you can just lay there, invulnerable, while enemies slowly die around you. Maybe get Novice Pistoleer to stack a second bleed.

If I didn't love being a Master Smuggler so much, I would try the Dirty Combat Medic approach.

PS - if you just want to be a Pistoleer, you have two choices: offense or defense.

1) If you want great offense, get the three lines on the right and forget Dodge/BS3.

2) If you want great defense, definitely pick up the Dodge/BS3 and Shots/State Defenses lines, and after that, make sure you at least get Pistol Melee Defense 1 to knock enemies down if they run up to you. What you get after that is up to you - it'll be a choice between speed or accuracy, and both are fairly important.

You can poison and FD... but you won't kill anything. All dots bring ham bars down to 1 point. You need to score some damage via combat.

Sure, but you stand up and hit them once and *poof*.

And all the while, whatever damage they did to you beforehand has been healing . . .

ummm two things i belive (correct me if i'm wrong) that you can master CM and pistoleer. Also If i remeber correctly pistol shots take up less then 10 mind ham. (I am a 3-2-4-4 CM and a 2-2-2-2 pistoleer)

Certainly,the third column for Fanshot, as then you can bleed a mob down to 1 with your DOTs and then fire the AOE Fanshot to wipe them all out in one shot.

Certainly,the fourth column for speed.

Tough call between the other two -- do you want Dodge or more Accuracy (BodyShot3 will be worthless to you at your speed)? Probably depends on your PvE vs. PvP preference -- as Philosopher's tests indicated, Dodge doesn't seem to be as good against high damage PC opponents, whereas Accuracy does count for something against certain players, so perhaps you would want the second column for PvP or the first for PvE.

You don't really need grips if you don't have the skill points for master gunfighter. I was very effective with master combat medic and 0/4/4/4.

Hope that helps!

Yes you can hit Master CM/Master Gunfighter with 4 points to spare.
